I have researched the heck out of this so forgive if I missed the answer somewhere...

I have registered a custom post type 'audiotalk'. Each talk can have one or more teachers so I registered a custom taxonomy for audiotalk called 'teacher' (non-heirachical).

I have an archive and single template for each audiotalk. I would like to find out if I can create an archive and single template for each teacher, with photo (I am using a plugin that associates an image with a taxonomy), description ($term->description) and that's pretty much it. The archive would simply be a list of teachers with links to their single page.

I've tried creating a single-teacher.php template but it's not working, meaning I am linking to, for example https://my.bodhitree.com/teacher/doreen-virtue/ and it's not using that template. In fact that page doesn't exist and I'm not sure why.

Can anybody enlighten me about what to do next?

  • did you do a permalink flush? taxonomy would likely be a page called category-teacher.php if that is your category name. needs to be specific to your name exactly though so make sure it's not just "teacher" – rudtek Dec 31 '16 at 1:00
  • The permalinks flush got me part of the way there, thanks for that. Now something different that was broken is now working. – semidivine Dec 31 '16 at 2:17
  • @rudtek unfortunately the 'teacher' taxonomy is only half working. I have a taxonomy-teacher.php template which is now working as a teacher archive, but single teacher pages are not working. single-teacher.php is not the trick, or my code is wrong. – semidivine Dec 31 '16 at 2:24
  • There is no single-teacher.php template, that is for custom post types, not taxonomies. Taxonomies are used to group posts, so they only have archives for each term in the taxonomy. – Milo Dec 31 '16 at 3:00
  • Thanks @Milo that clears things up. I'm going to have to get creative to do what I need to do. – semidivine Dec 31 '16 at 21:37

You can achieve it using archive page in this case taxonomy-teacher.php

That page will return all the terms so you need to use "get_queried_object()" which will only show the data of that particular post.

Hope this answers the question.

  • Thanks @Faisal for your response. You are totally correct! But I had actually solved the issue in the comments (same solution as yours) so I couldn't mark it as resolved. I'll mark your answer as correct to put this to bed. Cheers! – semidivine May 27 '18 at 20:00
